Supposed Imposters—A Woman and a boy stopped at the Mansion House in this city, a day or two ago, and after visiting Mount Vernon returned, and the woman went to bed, complaining of sickness. While in bed she sent for and was visited by a delegation of Masons, to whom she told a doleful tale of the suffering she had endured from poverty since the death of her husband, a prominent member of their order. Doubting her story, but anxious to be relieved of her, they bought her tickets to Baltimore, to which city she said she wanted to go, and Mr. Green gave her the amount of her hotel bill. She then, after eating a hearty meal, which was sent to her room, started for the Monumental city, but the next morning's Washington papers noticed her arrival at one of the hotels in that city.
